TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

The producers of the film did not include a trailer on location for Maureen O'Hara in their budget. John Candy was furious that the producers were showing someone of her stature such disrespect, he gave her his own trailer. The producers finally caved in, because they couldn't have Candy, the star of the film, without his own trailer.

During filming, Maureen O'Hara would often tell John Candy that he reminded her of Charles Laughton, citing that underneath the clown character, had existed a powerful, complicated actor. O'Hara told Candy to trust his talent as an actor, and not always play the clown.

Chris Columbus wrote the script with Maureen O'Hara in mind for the role of the mother. Once casting had begun, he insisted on having O'Hara play the role, and began a search for her. What he didn't know was that she had long since retired, and was living on St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Knowing her brother Charles B. Fitzsimons was still in the movie industry, Columbus contacted him, and had a script sent. O'Hara's brother then sent the script to her and said, "This you do!" After reading the script herself, Maureen contacted her brother and said, "This I do!"

Maureen O'Hara refused to sign the movie contract, though she loved the script, until she met co-star John Candy. Fortunately the two of them instantly created a strong rapport, and she hastily signed on the dotted line.

This marked Maureen O'Hara's first feature film role in twenty years (she had last appeared on the big screen in Big Jake (1971)) and with the exception of three television films (1995, 1998, and 2000), it also turned out to be her final one as well.

"Danny: I'll pick you up at seven. Where do you live? Theresa: Here. Danny: With the stiffs? Theresa: Um, my father and I have an apartment upstairs. Danny: Oh! Yeah, sure! That's uh... convenient!"
